As Alonso pulled into the pits, he glanced in the rearview mirror and saw himself followed by a Prost car.

The team just gave the order to pit and did not ask Zhang Yifei to pit together, and the normal team would not let the two drivers of the team pit at the same time.

Coupled with the fact that Zhang Yifei was so close to his car, even if he heard the team's instructions wrong, it was impossible for him to missee the car in front of him. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to follow yourself to make a pit stop, it is absolutely impossible to be an accident or mistake, it can only be a subjective decision.

Almost instantly, Alonso understood what Zhang Yifei was thinking, he was trying to repay the favor of his crash, so he chose to pit behind him, but did he overtake the lead?

"What do you want to do?"

Before the Prost strategy team could ask, Alonso's indifferent voice had already been heard in the team's voice call system.

In such a tense situation before, Alonso did not open his mouth to communicate with Zhang Yifei, and even did not discuss Schumacher in the end, but now he asked such a question.

"Pit stop for refueling and changing tires."

Zhang Yifei understood very well that Alonso was asking him a question, so he replied succinctly, just from the tone and attitude of the conversation between the two people, it was not obvious that this was a teammate who was fighting together on the track just now, and even one of them took the initiative to crash and almost "sacrificed" himself.

"You can pit for the next lap to refuel and change tires, are you going to let me do more than ten seconds?"

"Tell you, I don't need such thanks!"

Alonso's tone was filled with anger, because Zhang Yifei's move made him feel a kind of contempt and humiliation!

As an F1 driver, it's normal to have wins and losses on the track, just as winning and losing are a common thing. But in the official event, there was another driver's "let" outside the team's strategy, which is mercy for the weak, which is more uncomfortable than losing!

Alonso knew very well in his heart that he was indeed inferior to Zhang Yifei in terms of strength, and he was almost crushed on this home track in the East China Sea.

The reason why he helped Zhang Yifei by crashing was not to give in to the team's orders, or to ask for anything in return. It's just that I think I'm playing my part as a Prost driver, because Formula 1 is a team game.

Even if Zhang Yifei accepted this kind of help with peace of mind, he didn't even say thank you, and Alonso didn't care. On the contrary, his return of "kindness" touched Alonso's bottom line, and he couldn't accept it!

"You've overtaken, the lead car should have been your place, now it's just a fair play for the two of us."

Zhang Yifei replied lightly, if Alonso's crash damage is put aside, the need to pit ahead of schedule is not to be discussed. Objectively, Alonso did seize the opportunity to overtake himself at this point in time and occupy the lead position in the first place.

He didn't plan to "let Alonso", he just didn't want to take advantage of the opponent's early pit stops, and this time Zhang Yifei would convince Alonso to lose.

"Even if I succeed in overtaking, but at the same time I make a pit stop, I will still be ahead of you for more than ten seconds of pit stop, is this not enough?"

"No, because the safety car has been dispatched, I will still follow you."

That's right, this is the real reason why Zhang Yifei chose to follow Alonso to pit at the same time!

With the collision of five cars including Montoya, Helio, Barrichello, Schumacher and Alonso, four of the cars were completely parked on the track and could not move.

It's just that Alonso entered the pit lane early, ignored the red flags on the track, and was too angry at the first time, and didn't expect such a thing as a safety car.

So theoretically, the more than ten seconds wasted in this stop were actually overloaded by the safety car, and after Zhang Yifei left the station, he would still follow closely behind Alonso's car.

On the contrary, if Zhang Yifei does not pit at this time, he will completely lead Alonso. When the time comes, if you want to make any more concessions and let Alonso go back to where he belongs, that would be a real humiliation!

Whether it is the famous head brother in his previous life, or the Spanish boy who has become a teammate in this life, Zhang Yifei can be said to know Alonso very well.

The final crash, although he did it for the benefit of the team, was still very unconvinced in his heart, and he had to succumb to others when he could have a chance to overtake and lead.

There is a saying in any competitive industry: to give the greatest respect to your opponent is to go all out to beat him.

Alonso has always regarded himself as an opponent, Zhang Yifei knows this very well, but to be honest, Zhang Yifei has never regarded Alonso as his opponent, and there is always only one enemy in his eyes, that is, Schumacher.

Now that Schumacher and the Ferrari team have been out, Kimi Raikkonen, the driver closest to Zhang Yifei, is in the embarrassing situation of being forced to lap around, and he has no opponents.

It is even not modest to think that Zhang Yifei has locked up the world championship title in advance, and the rest of the game has become garbage time. When the black and white checkered flag flutters on the track, it is time for Zhang Yifei to enjoy the glory of the world champion!

If there is no external enemy, then it is time to solve the "internal trouble".

Zhang Yifei once promised Alonso that he would give him a chance to play fair. But in fact, limited by the interests of the team, the pressure of the strategy group, etc., it is difficult to really fight on the track in the way of the opponent.

In the F1 field, Zhang Yifei can give a driver the greatest respect is to treat each other as opponents. So his actions are not the humiliation that Alonso thinks, on the contrary, the greatest respect!

The head brother has a low EQ, but the IQ on the track is not low, and when he heard Zhang Yifei say that the safety car was pressing, he probably understood what the other party really wanted to do.

"Then is it the battle between the two of us?"

Alonso asked rhetorically.

"That's right, in the driver's way."

"Have you thought it through? The championship of the East China Sea Circuit may not be in your hands. ”

"Really? I'm sorry, you can't win this game. ”

Zhang Yifei just gave Alonso a chance to compete fairly, and it does not mean that he will release the water in the next races, and it does not mean that he has given up his desire to win the East China Sea Circuit.

Fighting with all his might is the greatest respect for Alonso, and it is also Zhang Yifei's respect for his professionalism!

The conversation between Alonso and Zhang Yifei was listened to by all the members of Prost's strategy group, and Prost, who was originally going to ask, put down his fingers pressed on the call button at this time.

As the owner of the team, he is actually very aware of the arrogance and disobedience in the hearts of his two drivers.

In general, the solution to the dissatisfaction of the drivers is very simple, one of them leaves, joins the other team, and proves his strength in the way of enemies on the track.

Whether it was Senna and Prost in the past, or Hamilton and Alonso in the future, the way it was handled was the same.

However, the situation of the Prost team is very special, both the No. 1 driver and the team's strategy team have adopted a laissez-faire approach and have not forced the No. 2 driver to be a wingman, and the confrontational atmosphere has never reached the point of quitting the team.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei and Alonso maintained the identity of "surface teammates" and had no chance to have a real showdown.

Many things have to be faced after all, and now that the overall situation has been decided, let Alonso and Zhang Yifei compete on the track in the way of drivers, win above board, and lose convincingly!

Prost chose the default, and the other members of the strategy group would not say anything.

The team of maintenance technicians, facing Alonso, who drove into the parking space, used the fastest speed to change him into rain tires, front nose wings, refueling and other pit stop steps, while Zhang Yifei parked directly behind Alonso's car in neutral, waiting lightly.

"Did Prost make a mistake in the end? In this way, Zhang Yifei will waste a long time to make a pit stop. ”

Li Bing looked at the picture of Zhang Yifei parked in the maintenance channel, frowned and said, although there are not many variables now, but as a Chinese, he can't wait to see the picture of Zhang Yifei standing on the highest podium.

As for the Prost rider and an intra-team war, Li Bing didn't even think about it.

What are you kidding, who would dare to be so big-hearted at this time and have an intra-team war?

Similarly, even the experienced Blundell could not imagine that Zhang Yifei's final opponent would be his teammate Alonso.

"It should be that the command was wrong, but it didn't have much impact, the safety car was in a state of leading the pressure circle, and the flight stop time would not be thrown off by Alonso."

"And they're all one team, and I'm sure the result is sealed, Fei will be the first East China Grand Prix champion and the first F1 world champion!"

When Blundell said this, it also reminded the audience on the track that now the only opponent, Schumacher, is out, as if Zhang Yifei has put his hands on the championship trophy and is waiting to be raised high!

"Is Zhang Yifei going to become a world champion in advance?"

"It seems that yes, as long as he finishes in the top two places, he can overtake Schumacher, who is three points ahead, and become the world champion this season!"

"So we're going to see the birth of a Chinese F1 champion?"

It may be that this result is too surprising, and many fans are incredulous.

"That's right! Doubt it anymore, Zhang Yifei is this year's world champion, and we won! ”

"We won!"

"We won!"

A frenzied cheer began to sound, penetrating the helmet of Zhang Yifei, who was refueling and changing tires at the pit, and he could clearly hear the words "we won" this time.

That's right, I won Schumacher!

Even Ah Hu and Brother Zhi, who changed tires, had irrepressible smiles on their faces, but they were all frantically controlling their emotions to avoid any mistakes in the pit stops.

Only by watching Zhang Yifei stand on the highest podium can we really win!

When Zhang Yifei changed his tires and left the station, Alonso had indeed used the ten seconds to run a long way, but several damaged cars on the track were not completely dragged away, and he was stopped by the safety car, shortening the team between him and Zhang Yifei.

At the same time, the drivers of other teams also chose to pit at the time of the safety car, which can save a pit stop.

After a lap of the race, when Zhang Yifei came to the accident site again, he had already followed Alonso's driver, and he saw Schumacher in a red racing suit on the lawn of the buffer zone, and did not return to the pits, but stood in the heavy rain and stared blankly at the car driving in front of him.

Maybe he didn't expect that this championship battle would end in this way.

It's just that Schumacher doesn't have any unwilling thoughts other than the unexpected way of ending. Because of this game, he felt Zhang Yifei's terrifying dominance from beginning to end, and this Chinese kid won by himself.

Even if there was no final crash, relying on Barrichello's assist to lead Zhang Yifei, Schumacher had a hunch in his heart that he couldn't stop Zhang Yifei. It's a title battle he's experienced before, and it doesn't feel like it's coming up.

Skills are not as good as others, willing to bow to the wind, these eight words may be a portrayal of Schumacher's heart.

The Tokai Circuit has a wide road surface and is a newly renovated track with a wide buffer zone to ensure the safety of the drivers.

In the finale, the fairness of the event is more important, so when the accident car moves off the track, the safety car leaves the field and allows the race to continue as normal.

At this time, Alonso and Zhang Yifei stepped on the floor oil almost at the same time, since they treat each other as opponents, then it is an all-out duel!

Many spectators on the track, even team members, thought that after the safety car was evacuated and overtaked, Alonso would give way to Zhang Yifei and give his teammates a perfect ending.

After all, I was willing to do a car crash before, so what's it to get a car now?

The resulting picture can be described as a big surprise, just from this acceleration can be seen, Alonso did not have the slightest idea of letting the car, and the rear car Zhang Fei bit the wake and launched a ferocious attack.

There was even a feeling that the battle between the two of them was more serious than the previous battle against the Ferrari duo, and they almost knocked their teammates off the track!

Damn, what kind of accident happened here, Alonso and Zhang Yifei turned their faces on the track, did the two choose to have a team infighting at this point in time?

If it was just a matter of wonder to see the sudden acceleration, then Alonso frantically blocked the car in the corner, it was almost certain that they had what they thought.

That's right, just when everyone thought the race was over early, the battle for the Prost team was not over, this time it was a "battle of teammates"!
